Bristol B170 Freighter Mk31 Ex ZK-EPG at Ardmore 6-3-17

Today saw Bristol B170 Freighter Mk31 ex ZK-EPG / NZ5911 msn 13135 moved from it's long trem resting place in the Dwen Aeromotive Ltd compond at Ardmore to near the entry gates to the compound. This I assume is part of the process to get the aircraft ready for shipping it to it's new home in the UK. It has reportly been purchased by the Bristol Aero Collection Trust (BACT) and is destined for the Aerospace Bristol Museum at Filton in the UK. It will then become the only example of the type in the UK. I wonder when this aircraft was last moved ?
